During a trip to Los Angeles to film “Surviving R. Kelly,” Kramer found her daughter, Dominique Gardner, at a hotel. Although the hotel manager was initially cooperative by walking Kramer to her daughter’s hotel room, where the two reunited after being apart for a year, he later told Kramer she had to vacate the premises immediately. He said someone allegedly called the police on her for trespassing. However, Kramer secretly returned, and moments later, Gardner tearfully and willingly left the building with her mother with just a backpack.

“That was the hardest decision I ever had to make,” Gardner told her mother through tears.

Many were concerned about the women who are allegedly still living with R. Kelly against their will. Both the Clarys, whose daughter is Azriel Clary, and the Savages, whose daughter is Joycelyn Savage, said they haven’t seen their children in three years despite their efforts.

Others commended the filmmakers for including a host of journalists, who spoke about R. Kelly’s legacy, as well as clinical psychologists, who explained the damaging effects of mental and physical abuse.

I’m glad there is a clinical psychologist here breaking stuff down #SurvivingRKelly

VERY well done! Adding in the psychologist for a deeper understanding of the psychology of the abused was magnificent. I’m disgusted and optimistic that this series will ignite a serious conversation about charges against this monster. Thank you for doing this.

After each one of these witness/survivor statements they have a clinical psychologist come on and say WHY its so hard for victims to leave. but here you twitter shrinks go with "why didnt she leave" #SurvivingRKelly

Folks also urged radio stations to no longer play the artist’s music as a part of the #MuteRKelly social media campaign, which seeks to stop his songs from being played and cancel his concerts.

One of the BEST things about #MuteRKelly is that it's cost him money. For an older musician, performing is what they really live on and by keeping the pressure on, he hasn't been able to perform as much. He shouldn't be allowed to perform AT ALL, but still. #SurvivingRKelly

So ima still listen to r kelly because he’s very talented...his personal life is not of my interest just as I listen to whitney and she was cracked out ...the talent remains the same I love music #SurvigingRKelly
